Good grasp

“Barack Obama’s statements on ‘60 Minutes’ show he has a good grasp on the difficult job of getting on track again. With people like Sam Nunn on his transition team, it appears he will have wise people advising him rather than the ‘yes' crew Bush preferred.

Observation

“The election of Barack Obama to the presidency shows that hard work and perseverance can help you achieve the American dream. So pull up your pants and go after it.

Over their heads

“Your editorial about Obama and those who say he is a Muslim was very appropriate and thought-provoking. Unfortunately for so much of the public, you were writing over their heads.

We'll regret it

“I don’t care what you say, Obama is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. He’s a Muslim and we’ll regret the day he took office.

Muslim or not

“I don’t really care if Obama is a Muslim as long as he will lead this country out of this quagmire we’re in. Heck, I know some Baptists I don’t trust and some I’m downright afraid of.

Amazing

“It’s amazing to read ignorant comments such as ‘Taxes are the redistribution of wealth’. I am sorry to say, but this is inaccurate. Taxes are the generating of revenue to provide governmental services.

Redistribution of wealth is taxing for the purpose of ‘leveling the playing field’ so all can have the same opportunity, regardless if you have worked hard or not. Surely if you voted for Obama you must familiarize yourself with his Marxist principals.

Wealth

“Everyone is in favor of redistribution of wealth. Those who don’t have it, want some. Those who have it, want more. I’m really amused at the word games we play when it comes to government and politics.

Gun regulations

“I just overheard a discussion about gun control. I’m a gun owner but I have no problem with there being restrictions such as no teflon coated bullets being allowed to the public, background checks being required and not allowing fully-automatic weapons to the public. That’s just a matter of common sense.

The NRA would do itself proud to back some common sense restrictions.

Had our forefathers known about street sweepers, Uzis, etc., they would certainly have factored the Second Amendment accordingly.

Life is a matter of perspectives; think about it
My friend, a city boy, was yelling for help. We were fishing on a river, and he had ventured over to another spot.
“Someone help! I’m cornered!” he yelled.

We better wake up
Dear editor:
Have our GOP representatives gone to sleep or are they refusing to act for the people they are supposed to represent? The Obama administration has contracted a Spanish company called SCYTAL, to tabulate the 2012 November presidential election.

May God bless my Uncle Henry
My uncle once noted on his return from a fishing trip that he caught so many fish he couldn’t put them all in one pile.
That’s how I feel trying to keep up with all the causes and organizations that either require support groups or else they comprise support groups.

A kind humanity
Dear editor:
Humanity. One word. That word can translate into many other words. Some would say humanity is dark, greedy and bent on world domination. Others may say humanity is sweet, kind and caring. I myself witnessed a small part of a loving, caring humanity the other day.

Why it's a bad tax
Dear editor:
In regards to the Transportation TSplost Tax: The statement, “Economic development suffers if we don’t pass this tax” is not a valid statement, because Georgia has always been behind the 8 ball in regards to transportation, but yet look at the growth we have experienced; being behind in transportation didn't hinder economic growth. Georgia now ranks 11th in the country as of 2010 and this occurred mostly since 1995. The economic vitality of Georgia is alive and well considering the slump the country is in.
